It was a single day since Katelyn had joined the gang, and Fayte was not one to procrastinate. The new girl needed her own clothes, and Leon had the money to do so. The boys were out save for Leon, so the door to the attic opened itself to Fayte without her touching it.
"Wake up, we're going shopping!" she called to Katelyn. She did not quite know how much of a heavy sleeper Katelyn was, but she was not going to hesitate to drag her off the bed if she needed to. The teenager waited for a response, Fayte was already completely dressed and ready to go even though she had only woken up an hour ago. It was currently 8am, and she still needed to even find Leon.
Leon didn't sleep in the house like a normal person, he would often sleep somewhere in the junkyard. Weirdo. She once found him taking a nap in the bed of a truck with no mattress. She didn't quite know where to expect Leon to be this time, she didn't even know why he didn't just sleep on a normal bed like a normal person. Sure his body heat might have made the bed quite warm but she didn't think it'd be enough to set the mattress on fire. She had simply learned to just accept the fact that this man was not normal, and was likely a complete psychopath.

The first thing Katelyn found herself doing following her abrupt awakening via Fayte's loud call, was to let out a series of unintelligible grunts before she attained a passable level of coherency. Blinking a couple of times, the teenager forces her head up from the pillow and bed where she'd been laying on her stomach under a couple blankets to combat the cold.
"Whazzt?" Kate mumbles out and then shakes her head to clear it. It takes her a couple of moments but the girl manages to pull herself up to sit at the edge of the bed and rubs at her eyes. "What's going on?"
She shakes her head again slightly and then reaches up to pull her hair back behind her, and grabbing one of the hairties Kate quickly secures it into a ponytail.
"Oh right, shopping." Katelyn says a moment later, with a bit more enthusiasm than she would normally display. She was not much a fan of going out to engage in such things unless she knew exactly what she needed to get, browsing felt like a waste of time when she could order just about all of it online nowadays. But as it was clothes and most definitely a necessity, she was more than willing to go along.

"Get yourself ready, i'm going to go find Leon and have him drive us there," Fayte spoke before closing the door to give Kate some privacy. She needed to find his uselessness, she opened the front door like a normal person, Butch sitting up and bounding happily towards her to walk alongside her.
"Where's Leon?" she asked the dog uselessly, before deciding to check the garage first. From the sounds that emitted from the garage, Leon was already awake. She looked in to see that he was working on taking apart the car that had slammed into Katelyn the other day. The hood was already taken off completely and thrown in the scrap heap, and Leon was digging through the engine and taking it apart piece by piece.
"Fire-cracker," she spoke up, startling Leon slightly as he was engrossed in his work. The man glanced backwards at her, his face prompting Fayte to explain what she had wanted, "You're driving us to the store remember?"
"No," was the response.
"Yes," was Fayte's comeback of the year, "You said you would when you came back the day you dropped her off."
She ignored the roll of Leon's eyes, "Fine but we're taking the civic," was his conditions.
Fayte didn't care what kind of car they went in, it was just going to be to the clothing store and back after all. She didn't know why Leon was so obsessed with his cars, but it didn't matter. She turned around to leave him to his car and return to see how Katelyn was doing.

"Yeah yeah, alright." Katelyn murmured in agreement to Fayte's suggestion of getting herself presentable enough for going out, now a little over a day since she'd arrived or so the teenager roughly estimated as she continued to blink the sleep out of her eyes for another moment or two. Before she had much of a chance to say anything to Fayte, her blonde friend has already departed from her bedroom and so Katelyn shrugs and sets about freshening herself up.
A couple minutes later Katelyn makes her way downstairs and then out through the front door in time to see Fayte making her way right towards her. Looking past the other girl, she could see Leon off a bit further, seeming to be working to rip apart the Mustang from the accident.
"I'm all set for whenever." The brunette tells her friend, unsure if they would be leaving yet or if the blonde just had a want to get the show on the road as quick as possible. If Katelyn had to guess she would imagine it was likely closer to the latter, remembering Fayte's little rundown of her life and how she'd never wanted to have come here in the first place, which Katelyn didn't begrudge her. She herself felt much the same way now, far from her 'real' home. "Everything all good?" She adds inquiringly after another moment.

"Leon'll be around with the car in a bit," Fayte nodded. It did not take long for a red civic to come around and pick them up. They were driven to the nearest store and Fayte picked out some clothing for herself while trying to find things for Katelyn. Leon waited out in the car, considering if he stepped foot into the store he'd probably set off red flags and the clerks would call the cops.
Once they were done purchasing the clothes Fayte stuffed the receipt into the bags as she began to walk out the door. She failed to pay attention to where she was going and ran into a rather buff looking man.
"Oh, sorry," she said, smiling sheepishly at the obviously stronger man. However the man did not look too happy, and he seemed to have quite a few friends with him...
"Well hello there little missies," the man spoke with a deep and rough voice, "It seems you hit me."
"What? No I didn't, it was an accident," Faye denied. She peered behind her for Kate and perhaps even the clerks inside, however the clerks appeared to simply be minding their own business.

It wasn't long after Fayte had informed her that Leon would be ready that the man in question pulled to a stop before them in a Civic, and then they were on the way to the discount clothing store. The ride took less time then Katelyn had expected and before she knew it, she was picking through a rack of tee-shirts.
Having already grabbed a couple sets of jeans, a pair of slightly worn leather pants, a sturdy pair of combat boots, some underwear and by luck she even happened to find a New Jersey Devils hat. Adding to that three or four tops and she was done, and after paying for the stuff was following Fayte out when some bulky guy decided he wanted to play with them.
"She didn't hit you, you purposefully backed up. We're not the kind of girls you want to mess with mister.." Katelyn finds herself warning, letting her bags fall to her sides as she flexes her fists, somehow knowing that this man and his rockhead friends weren't going to take 'f*ck off' for an answer.

The man laughs, as if Katelyn had made a joke, "That's cute hun, but we know exactly what kind of gals you two are," he grumbled.
Fayte retreated back a few steps, wondering what this man meant. Where was Leon? Wasn't he supposed to be her legal guardian? She figured Katelyn could take care of these punks no problem, however the men's words had caused her to feel as if they might just know of Katelyn's abilities. Did they somehow know of her's too? Impossible! The only person that knew of them that was alive was Katelyn, and she doubted that Katelyn would rat out to some random nobodies just to beat her up.
"How about we go around back and have us a little talk, huh?" The man offered, gesturing to an alleyway to the side of the store.
"Uh, how about no?" Fayte spoke, however the other four friends did not seem too keen on letting them go anywhere else but that direction judging from how they blocked the way into the parking lot. She had wanted to avoid a fight, but they did not seem too keen on allowing the girls to go their own way.

Katelyn wasn't altogether surprised when her subtle threat was laughed off by the men, as admittedly she didn't really carry intimidating vibes. She had no issue with using that to her advantage either, playing up the appearance of innocence, but it was already clear that this was not going to be a situation where such a tactic would be of much use, even in the short term.
"I really sort of doubt that." Katelyn retorted with a sneer, knowing that there was no possible way that the man could know about her powers. No one in the city outside of Fayte, Leon and Leon's gang had seen her use them, and she'd only been in the city for four days at most.
Just then, as Fayte backs up to stand behind her, one of the men suddenly lunges forward at Katelyn and without missing a beat the teenager reacts accordingly. "Nuh, uh. Ain't happening a**hole!" She yells angrily as her right hand delivers an open palm strike to the man's chest, and the force behind her blow launches the man off his feet to fly backwards about ten to twelve feet and crash into one of the display racks by the exit doors.
"Now back off!" Katelyn snarls as she turns back to the leader, her eyes blazing with annoyance.

Fayte watches as one of the men get blasted back quite a bit. The leader stares at the girl, as if bored as he was unfazed by the attack. She wondered if this man just knew how to keep a poker-face or something. The leader smiles politely and speaks, "Naughty girl, that was one of my subordinates."
'no shit sherlock' Fayte thought, though did not say it aloud since it was fairly obvious everyone knew that he knew.
"Now, i'll ask you one more time, come in the back with us or we'll just do our thing right here, out in the open, where everyone in the world can see your face and call the authorities on the girls that brutally assaulted some unfortunate boys that were simply asking for directions," the man stared at Katelyn with hard and unreadable eyes.
Fayte did not quite know how to react to this situation. Kate could handle this right? Sure Fayte could probably fling them all into the racks just like Katelyn easily, but then again it would risk people finding out about her power. She just wanted a normal life, was that too much to ask?
"Look," Fayte spoke up, "What do you even want from us in the first place? Money? We just spent it all," of course Fayte was lying and she did not quite know about Katelyn, but if these guys were trying to rob them then saying they had no money might deter them a bit.
However the man scoffed, "If we wanted money then we would have approached sooner! We-"
"Well ladies what's goin on here? Got a couple o' boyfriends I see," a familiar voice spoke up. Fayte spotted Leon behind the attackers, he was obviously kidding with the whole boyfriend thing. He knew exactly what was going on between the girls and these five now four harassing people...welp there goes any chance of leaving peacefully. Leon was probably going to start the fight and then Katelyn and Leon would bash these guys in a bloody pulp right in front of the store. At least she'd make it on TV right...? Screw it, there was no bright side to this...

Katelyn gave a smirk in reply to the arrogant man's acknowledgement of her assault on his minion, and then turned to look over at him with the smirk firmly planted on her face. "Consider it a warning shot then, next one will be coming at you." She says as she brings her hands up in front of her and cracks her knuckles, more than ready for a fight should it come down to that.
Her smirk turns into a glare as the man continues to demand that both she and Fayte go with him, and she wastes no time in crossing the distance seperating her from the man to get right up in his face. "Listen asshole, neither of us is going anywhere with you, get that through your fool head."
Then Fayte speaks up and draws everyone's attention for a couple moments, and then Leon was suddenly there to interrupt the demanding man midway through his latest words that had Katelyn wanting to punch his teeth down his throat. At the mere mention of 'boyfriend' from Leon, Katelyn finds herself taking a step or two back from the man and quickly adopting a look of disgust at the very thought.
"Hey where you going sweetheart, I thought we were about to have fun?" Katelyn heard the man say and had to fight down the urge to just cave his skull in, although what happens next makes her wish like hell she had. Without warning the man's hand shoots out and grabs her at the wrist and almost as if she was instinctually made to, her own hand and wrist rotate to grab hold of his wrist as well so it looks like an odd handshake of sorts.
However it's anything but, and Katelyn lets out a gasp of both shock and pain as the body contact sets in motion the man's power of parasitic absorption. Her veins seem to pop out from her skin and turn black, and her entire body begins to tremble as her strength and healing both fail her due to the man sapping bother her abilities and life-force.
"St-stop!" Katelyn manages to choke out weakly as she finds herself falling to her knees before the man, though their clasped hands stay locked together. Before she can speak again, the man's other hand comes up to grip Katelyn's head, and she lets out a scream of agony as he smushes his palm into her face to quicken his efforts of siphoning off her energies. After a couple more seconds, the sixteen year old lets out an anguished moan as she begins to black out from what's being done to her.

Fayte held back a shriek of fear as Katelyn suddenly convulsed and collapsed. Her bags dropped to the floor as her hands reached up to her mouth. She glanced up at the smirking man, his henchman seemed to disappear behind him as Leon made a move to attack. The man releases Katelyn's face, and took a brief glance towards his henchmen who seemed to be having a bit of trouble with the lion, but it seemed that he figured they'd be fine.
Fayte backed away as the man took a step forward, trying to get near her, "S-Stay away!" she attempted to order. Why was Leon taking so long? Her eyes flicked to the fight between the four men and Leon, well three men it seemed since one of them was rolling on the ground panicking about being on fire, then back to the man. What the hell did this guy want from her? Why was he getting closer? Was Katelyn alright?
The man stopped, a few paces away from Katelyn before speaking, "Come here. Stop resisting."
Fayte shook her head violently, her body shaking in fear. This was about the most trouble she had gotten in since...well since she was born! The man sighed, "You're just making this difficult. Fine. I suppose i'll just give your friend a few friendly hugs instead!" he turned and began walking back to Katelyn.
What?! It did not take much for Katelyn to figure out that he meant to torture KAtelyn. She saw his arm reaching out to Katelyn before she cried out, "NO!"
--
Leon moved swiftly, attempting to attack as the man reached for Katelyn, however the goonies had anticipated his movements and attacked him. His body became engulfed in flames, effectively causing them to hesitate in punching the human-fire-ball. His Brass Knuckles he usually kept around were already placed on and were bright red with heat, any punch he delivered to direct skin would certainly leave a branding mark.
The Red Lion gave the first to approach him an effective punch in the gut, causing the guy to collapse and roll in a ball of pain and flames. Two of the goons attempted to grab his arms and hold him, however the flames and his body heat caused them to release his arms in pain. He clocked one in the jaw, but another had managed to get out a weapon and was about to smash in Leon's rib cage with a hammer.
The words "No" was screeched by Fayte, and suddenly hammer-guy was sent flying as the body of the big talker was suddenly flung into him. The final goon had stopped attacking compeltely, trying to figure out what was going on. At first Leon had figured Katelyn must have done something, however the scene did not exactly support that evidence once he looked over to see how the girls were doing...

Possibly for the first time in the months since the hostage incident and her discovery of being empowered, Katelyn was feeling helpless and true terror as she wilted under the energy-leech's grasp, squirming weakly beneath his hands holding her down. In the end she isn't sure what causes him to back off, but is greatful for the relief that being released brings her as her power and life-force shoot back into her. She wasted no time in throwing herself backwards and away from the leader of the man, though with how much of her energy has been sapped off her, the teenager's movements are sluggish and the leech turns away, figuring her down for the count.
A moment or two later, she hears Fayte yell 'NO!', and it somehow fills Katelyn with 'fresh' energy brought on by sudden desperation to help her friend. With no small amount of effort and struggling, Kate forces herself to stand on shaky legs and grabs a hold of a fire extinguisher off the wall before stalking towards where the action had moved to.
Moving slow as she wasn't capable of much more, Katelyn managed to sneak up behind the last goon, and as he turns to make a run for it, Katelyn smashes him in the chest with the heavy instrument. She then watches him fly back a few yards and smash back first to the floor to lie still. Spotting the energy leech laying on the floor a bit further off, she hobbles herself over and without warning she pulls back and with as much strength as she was able to muster behind it, she kicks the guy in the side and lifts him off the ground to go crashing into one of the vending machine. She figured he'd have at least a couple broken bones from that so felt somewhat vindicated for having done it.
"That's what you get for touching me asshole." Katelyn snarls out, though her words are mostly said in a wheeze as she is still trying to catch her bearings again fully. The brunette girl then glanced over toward Leon and Fayte with a look of concern as her healing factor works to fix her, but she could feel that it was going slower than usual.
"You guys alright?" She coughs out a moment later, unaware exactly of the actions taken by Fayte or whether or not Leon had seen.

"The hell was that?" Leon demanded, ignoring Katelyn's question. Fayte figured Leon was just fine, after all the goons had trouble just touching him since they were so afraid of the flames.
"I-I'm fine, but what was what?" Fayte attempted to play stupid, however Leon seemed to be having none of that.
"Don't bull shit me, you did that didn't you?" Leon questioned as he pointed to the unconscious body of the leecher. Leon didn't seem to be furious or remotely violent, more like an adult who caught a child reaching for a cookie in the cookie jar when they had already had their share.
"Katelyn, are you okay?" Fayte asked quickly, trying to change the subject in hopes that Leon would just forget about it.
"Hello? I asked you a question," was Leon's response. He seemed to be getting slightly irritated now, which only pushed Fayte to further ignore him.
"What did that guy even do to you?" she asked Katelyn.
"Don't just ignore me!" Leon growled, crossing his arms and his eyes narrowing.

Not much sooner had she managed to get her question out, did Katelyn find herself blinking as she watched the other two interact and an increasing sense of dismay begins to fill her. It was clear she had missed something while down and out as the leech used his power against her, and with the tone and context of the question Leon asks, it quickly becomes apparent that Fayte's little secret was out.
"Y-yeah. Should be A-Ok in a couple minutes." Katelyn replied with a hoarseness to her own voice, her body still working to correct the damages brought on by the brief battle. She gives a sideways glance to Leon as he addresses Fayte again, who seems to be giving him the silent treatment in an attempt, or rather hope that he would just give up and forget. By the look Katelyn observes of his eyes and expression, that wasn't happening.
"I'm not entirely sure, but it felt like all my energies or whatever you wanna call em were being sucked out of me." Kate replies with a bit of hesitation, and pauses for a couple seconds before adding. "What happened?"
Kate was glad she didn't even really have to lie about it this time to try and help Fayte keep her secret, even if she would do so if required. She had promised not to rat, and wouldn't break her word even as the other girl seemed caught anyways.

Fayte wanted to shrug and keep playing dumb, but it was at this point that she realized that Leon was not going to drop the subject, and ignoring it was not going to help. She hesitated, before letting loose a sigh of defeat. That didn't take long for her secret to get out now did it?
"Fine...I pushed the big-talker back..." She admitted. She could feel Leon's eyes drilling holes into her skin as she avoided them. Dear gods what was he going to do now? Force her on the crew? She could easily just push Leon away and flee if he tried force, but he had the others, and what if he hunted her down?
Fayte was not entirely sure on what kind of guy Leon was, he was a criminal, but he did not seem completely bad. To her, Leon was very unpredictable and seemingly spontaneous in his decisions.
"How?" Leon asked.
"I can...kind of do things like that..." she tried to dodge the question, still avoiding his look.
She could hear the sound of sirens in the distance, the clerks must have called the police! Shit, was she going to be a wanted criminal now!? Fayte did not know how to respond to this, she wanted to swear and kick things in frustration, but she remained calm and kept her composure.
"C'mon..." Leon spoke as if Fayte had not said anything at all, "Can you run fine Kate?" he asked Katelyn. It seemed that the leecher had messed with her abilities a bit, and they needed to get out of there fast.
